Marlow Hydro, LLC; Notice of Intent To

Application.

c. Date Filed: June 20, 2023.

(Marlow Hydro). 

e. Name of Project: Nash Mill Dam

f. Location: On the Ashuelot River, 

near the town of Marlow, Cheshire 

County, New Hampshire. 

g. Filed Pursuant to: 18 CFR 5.5 and 

385.216 of the Commission’s 

regulations. Marlow Hydro filed a 

request to withdraw its surrender 

application on June 20, 2023.1 The

j. On December 6, 2023, Commission 

staff issued a letter providing Marlow 

Hydro with details regarding the process 

for filing a license application for the 

Nash Mill Project. As stated above, on 

June 20, 2023, Marlow Hydro filed a 

notice of withdrawal of a surrender 

application for the Nash Mill Project 

and a request to return to a licensing 

process. The request to reinstate the 

subsequent licensing proceeding was 

denied. Staff determined, however, (1) 

that the pre-filing work (Pre-Application 

Document request, and approval, to use 

the TLP, and Joint Agency Meeting) 

performed by Marlow Hydro satisfies 

the requirements of 18 CFR 4.38(b) for 

first stage consultation; (2) that Marlow 

Hydro should proceed with second 

stage consultation; and (3) that the June 

20, 2023 notice of withdrawal of the 

surrender application should serve as a 

notice of intent to file an original license 

application for the Nash Mill Project 

(see paragraph g). 

k. There typically is no filing deadline 

for an original license application. 

However, Marlow Hydro is currently 

operating the project under section 18 

CFR 16.21(a) of the Commission’s 

regulations authorizing it to operate the 

project until the Commission acts on its 

application (see the Notice of 

Authorization for Continued Project 

Operation issued on December 22, 

2022). Thus, to ensure that Marlow 

Hydro files a timely application for the 

Commission to act on, establishing a 

deadline for Marlow Hydro’s original 

license application is warranted. Staff 

has determined that it is reasonable to 

expect second stage consultation and a 

final license application to be 

completed by the end of July of 2024. 

Therefore, the final license application 

for this project is due by July 31, 2024. 

l. With this notice, we are initiating 

informal consultation with the U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service and NOAA 

Fisheries under section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act and the joint 

agency regulations thereunder at 50 CFR 

part 402; and NOAA Fisheries under 

section 305(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act and implementing regulations at 50 

CFR 600.920. We are also initiating 

consultation with the New Hampshire 

Division of Historical Resources, as 

required by section 106 of the National 

Historic Preservation Act, and the 

implementing regulations of the 

Advisory Council on Historic 

Preservation at 36 CFR 800.2. 

m. With this notice, we are 

designating Marlow Hydro, LLC as the 

Commission’s non-Federal 

representative for carrying out informal 

consultation pursuant to section 106 of 

the National Historic Preservation Act.

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful 

public engagement and participation in 

Commission proceedings. OPP can help 

members of the public, including
